HPV E7 protein helps cervical cancer grow by changing RNA modification of PAK5

Abstract
ALKBH5 was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer (CC) and may serve as a valuable prognostic marker.
- HPV E6/7 oncoproteins affected global m6A modification and specifically increased ALKBH5 expression.
- Forced expression of ALKBH5 enhanced malignant traits in cervical cancer cells.
- E7 promoted ALKBH5 expression through mechanisms involving specific histone modifications and post-translational changes.
- ALKBH5-mediated m6A demethylation increased the expression of PAK5.
- The m6A reader YTHDF2 bound to PAK5 mRNA, regulating its stability based on m6A presence.
- ALKBH5 contributed to tumorigenesis and metastasis in cervical cancer by regulating PAK5.
